Montrail Sabino WB Trail Running Shoe - Women's - 2010 BCS

This is a great shoe! It is plenty wide across the forefoot and has great arch support. It feels substantial and I think it will hold up well for shorter, less demanding hikes. However, that all said....I ordered the Size 10, and it felt a full size too small, in my opinion. I put the shoes on with a fairly thin pair of socks and wore them around the house, hoping that maybe I just needed to break them in. But no luck...I'm afraid they just won't stretch enough to risk keeping them and then be sorry later on when they hurt my feet. Unfortunately, they are out of Size 11, so will have to return these without a replacement! I rated these 4 stars, as they are perfect in every way. 5 stars if they would have fit, I think the sizing runs small. Keep that in mind when purchasing a pair--consider the socks you'll be wearing and whether or not you run to the high end of your size. I can wear a 10 or 11 depending on the shoe. Everyone is different so proceed accordingly and good luck!

--These shoes are extremely waterproof. At one point, I was walking in a downpour, with rain pooling on the tops and my feet still stayed completely dry.
--unlike some waterpoof shoes, these still feel like athletic shoes in that they flex normally and breath great.
--The cushioning is thick, with gryptonite soles with excellent traction.
I really like the construction of Montrail shoes and have owned many pairs over the years. They are durable and continue to support the foot after many miles, even as they start to show some serious signs of wear.
This is an excellent shoe.
